Alpl−/− primary chondrocytes exhibit abnormal gene expression during differentiation. (A–F) Primary rib chondrocytes isolated from Alpl+/+ and Alpl−/− mice were cultured to induce chondrocyte differentiation. Experiments were performed in triplicate. RNA was isolated at indicated time points. TNAP, sox9, aggrecan, Col2a1, Runx2, and Col10a1 mRNA levels were measured by real time PCR. Results are presented as normalized to β-Actin. Solid lines = Alpl+/+ cells, dashed lines = Alpl−/− cells. *p < 0.05 between genotypes.
